To fix, add `LC_ALL=C` before sed. For example: $ export LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8 $ cat runtime/doc/vim-fr.1 | sed 's/.*//' > /dev/null sed: RE error: illegal byte sequence $ cat runtime/doc/vim-fr.1 | LC_ALL=C sed 's/.*//' > /dev/null $ # no errors Modifying $LC_ALL temporarily fixes the problem.
Of course, in stead of adding LC_ALL before the `sed's, we can add it at more macro level... I mean, before using installman.sh: $ LC_ALL=C /bin/sh ./installman.sh or more globally $ LC_ALL=C sudo make install suppresses the errors of sed. Portability I don't know that which shell supports modifying a variable temporarily.
